Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 1. "RE: Electronic systems failure" 03-04-03, 08:31z  Greetings Guido: It sounds like you ran into two bugs and a quirk with FS2K2. > today I made a very short trip with the Cessna Caravan > Amphibian.

I don't know what the reason is (perhaps the mixture being too rich). I know this happens in the pistons, but I seem to recall it happening in the Concorde as well, so it may affect the Caravan too. > Unfortunately I was unable to restart it; > when I went to "realism settings" I found the option for > "electric systems failure" was marked (I never use that > stuff). You probably drained the battery. The battery life in FS2K2 is unrealistically short. (There are some changes that can be made to the aircraft's .cfg files to reduce the problem.) The way that FS2K2 shows this failure is by checking the electrical systems failure box. > Unmarking it had no effect, as soon as I left the > menu with OK and reentered it, the option was again marked. That's the way it works. You can't recharge the battery, so it remains checked. > Disabling "damage by aircraft overstressing" did not help > either. That's because it's an electrical failure. > I finally had to restart FS2002 to overcome the > problem. Switching aircraft would "fix" it as well. Hope this helps!
